    Choi's Journey of the Conscious Mind

    Here I write down my attempts and experiences from my nightly experiences (lucid dreams, Obe's and APing)

    It sometime might look like I am trying to sell out my techniques, so I apologize for that. But it's just my way of writing it in order to motivate myself.

    I personally hate "BEST TECHNIQUE THREADS" or technique threads at all for that matter, because I allways seem to put all my confidence and belief in the technique, but when I try it and fail I just blame myself... Instead of learning it my own way and put the confidence and believe in myself.

    You can of course still read about techniques and methods, but just see them as guidelines and not bullet proof science. Believe me it's easy to get into that mindset.
    And by the way, even science can be prooved wrong ;)

    So be crtical while reading this.. I just hope that you learn from my experience the same way I have learned from others like:

    1. Attempt 3 and 4: Keep The Awareness

      by , 03-04-2012 at 10:13 AM (Choi's Journey of the Conscious Mind)
      First of all I am going to write down how the third attempt and I will also write down what I dreamt!

      I had just finished reading Frank Kepples non-technique text and I chatted with my other natural astral projection friend, Tony. Then I went to bed layed down on my stomach with my head resting on my crossed arms, closed my eyes and focused on the spot in the center of my forehead.
      I didn't focused on relaxation, because Frank wrote that it will come by itself. So I did what my friend Fredrik does, I daydreamed. I thought to myself that I took a big risk, because a wandering daydreaming mind can end up falling asleep unconsciously really easily. But I didn't!

      I don't know how I did it it's just something you have to try and see if it will work the same for you.
      I just concentrated the sight at that spot, even though it hurted a little bit at first, I soon started to get used to it.
      I could even look straight forwars, but at the same time feel the awareness at that spot, so that was a little weird.
      I started to see some flashes here and there and some figures in a fraction of second.

      Then I just woke up and felt that my awareness was diffferent, and I just knew that I was dreaming!
      I got out of my bed really excited! I looked at my hand and they were normal and it felt more real than usual, since I was almost perfectly clear in my mind and I could even remember things from the physical world, I thought to myself that this looks like one of my lucid dreaming wallpapers, where a hand is on a window. I tried to manipulate the form of my hands and they immediatelly changed shapes and I got shocked!

      I started to scream for my "Dreamguide" or something like that, but I got no answer...

      I looked out through my window and saw that my neighbours had a pool on the roof, I laughed because it was so random and I wanted to go there. So I went out from my room, I thought to myself that this might be the astral plane because it was so vivid and real. But I never turned around to look at my sleeping body... But now I think that it was just a dream.
      But I am still happy =D I saw my parents sleeping in their room and was surprised over how real and stable they were.

      I then walked out of my house and I wanted to fly. So I took pace and tried. But nothing happend... I then imagined the sensations of levitating and I felt my body rising towards the roof! I then started freezing, and my neighbours pool was frozen, so I started sliding on it haha. Then my dad yelled to me "Stop playing outside in the cold are you nuts?"
      and I laughed and said "I'm sorry but I am dreaming, your not even real haha I can't believe that I am saying this!".
      Then I considered to do a backflip down from the roof, but it was too scary even in the dream ...

      This was the most vivid and real lucid dream I have ever had, I seem to say that alot. But I guess I am just progressing.

      I will now try to explain the best I can how to focus the eyes, because that's the only thing I did to keep the awareness.
      I could then think of whatever I wanted even wander my mind.

      Ok this is how I position my eyes: behind closed eyelids of course. But for this exercise you have to have them opened obviously.

      Hold your index finger in front of you and cross your eyes so you will make it go double. And then the next part is hard to explain, it's just something you have to "find" how to do on your own, or read crosseye viewing tutorials :P
      So when you have crossed your eyes and see double, relax the eyes to make the two fingers move closer to each other and then readjust your focus to make your eyesight stable. If you do this right you will be able to see the image below in 3D!

      I actually did my fourth attempt this morning. I was listening to 3 guided meditations in one sequence, and I did the eye focus awareness at the same time, and I never lost consiousnes!
      And my body got extremely numb, but when I knew that I had layed there for 50 minutes my mom decided to get in and yell "Good morning my little heart" and let the sunshine in....

      Anyway I was not mad, because now I know that awareness is easy for me if I use this focus.

      I hope that it help someone. I will see you tomorrow :D
      I will also try to remember as much of each stage as I can, so you will hear about the transition as well.

    2. Attempt 3: 2 Hour Sleep WILD!

      by , 03-04-2012 at 02:09 AM (Choi's Journey of the Conscious Mind)
      Attempt 3:

      Ok first of all I would like to thank Alyzarin, Ctharline, sinoblak, gab, 12padams, Linkzelda41, Phanes, Master G, my friend Fredrik and Frank Kepple for inspiring me and helping me achieve the impossible, when the rest of the world is against me. Haha sorry I am just so excited I just sleep for 2 hours. And thanks to all my readers :) I hope you find this post inspiring, I might rewrite it because now it's just poorly written by a tired guy.

      Ok enough with the goofiness... :shadewink:

      I did Frank's and Fredrik's third eye focusing technique.
      [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]2960[/ATTACH][/CENTER]
      Just close the eyes and look slightly upwards like the image above. haha!
      Then relax and think of whatever you want to think of, because this neat trick will help you feel your awareness. Just make sure that you are in a comfortable position.

      I did this and I daydreamed for sometime like my friend instructed. And I actually fell asleep over 10 times! But I allways seemed to regain awareness. Then the impossible happend.
      I woke up in my bed and got out, because I somehow felt that I was not truley awake.
      But this was different, this was too real to be a dream. I have had real dreams before but only in the moment I dreamt it and when I woke up I allways thought that I had imagined it, this time I still though it felt like reality even after I had woke up.
      I looked at my hands and they looked normal, but I already knew at this point that I was dreaming, so I made then hands look weird with visualization. And I played around with that for a bit. Then some weird stuff happend.

      I might tell you about it tomorrow, I have written it down on a paper, but I now I want back to sleep, I have only slept 2 hours after all ... But it was a very vivid and long dream so WILDing before bed will be more motivating now, when I have confirmed that it's possible.

      I will go back to bed now, hopefully I can WILD again. That would be something huh? Ah man I am to tired good night. :sleepmeditate2:
